About Textdrive I see often problems with connecting DB : normal ?

This should be a one time issue. It should have been already solved if not for the comment spam attacks recently.

Trel,
thanks for the tip. I will try it later.

I works after I uninstalled the digest mod (basically drop the two tables).

Here is the debug info:

File: ~/forum/userlist.php
Line: 157

PunBB reported: Unable to fetch user list

Database reported: Got error 12 from table handler (Errno: 1030)

What's happening? I'm using 1.21 with email digest mod.

Great work! Thanks a lot.

I'm using photostack (http://photostack.org/) It's quite simple and the default layout is beautiful.

Don't mind at all. 

(Just wondering why sometimes I see Chinese version of "Ads by Google" here)

Great work!  ( I somehow think this should be punbb's feature in the firsthand. )

$12 plan is more than enough for you. You can goto http://textdrive.com/forum/ to ask any questions.

I recommend TextDrive (they host this site). You're not gonna find anything better.

Totally agree!

So this means punpoll works with 1.2?

Personally I think PM is not essential because it can be replaced with emails. But polls are very important for a community. Right now the only thing keeps me from doing upgrade to 1.2 is the punpoll mod.

Does it work with Punbb 1.2?

Also, if you like iTunes in Windows, you obviously haven't used a lot of Windows software. You'll have to search high and low to find a slower or buggier software than iTunes in Windows.

I never had a single problem with iTunes. The fact is I've search high and low but never found a better one in terms of features, interface and usability.

joshua: could you let us know how it goes with sqlite?

It was fast and stable. I hope punbb has a time counter similar to textpattern so that we can compare the performance of mysql and sqlite in real applications.

Now i'm think migrating my existing punbb mysql installation to sqlite. Is there such a thing to do the converting?

joshua: You can leave host, username and password empty. PunBB will attempt to create the database file for you, but if it doesn't have permissions, you'll have to create it first.

Thank you Rickard. smile I figured it out after I made that post. (Just need to read the instruction in the installation page carefully.)

How to setup with sqlite? What's username/password and host? Do I have to create one sqlite db beforehand?

I agree that it would be a bad thing for public forums. What I was talking about is an alumini forum (for college classmates). So everything going on in the forum is sort of interesting. The only problem is some ppl just don't like to visit forum in general.
Anyway, I guess this should be a mod rather than a general feature of punbb.

textdrive.com is extremly slow...

It's usually super fast. What part of textdrive and when are you talking about?

How about this -- give user an option (default off) to receive ONE email per day for all the new posts in one category or forum.
I'm running a forum for a small group. I have the impression that some ppl like bulk mails as a tool for noticing, otherwise they don't know what's going on because they don't visit the forum too often.

I use upload.php combined with photostack:  just set the upload directory to some albums within photostack directory.

How to change the $pun_root  value when the php file is not in the same directory as the forum?
I tried both absolute path and relative path, neither of them work. The error information is "There is no valid language pack 'en' installed. Plese check $language setting in config.php."

Update: the problem is solved. It was due to config.php for punbb, where I set $pun_root to './'. After removing this line from config.php, the authentication process works.
